unclestuffy Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Dear all, I am after a dead mink in the West Yorkshire area if anyone shoots or traps one. I would also be happy to take a dead cat instead if you have one that accidently fell into your car on the way to meeting up. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Doe Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 For taxidermy? If you look on Ebay (type in taxidermy frozen) you occasionally find sellers listing dead frozen mink, stoats, or birds. No cats though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - it is for taxidermy but I wanted to get the claws off the carcess. The cat or mink are the right size claw. Might have to see what cats there are on the road or if there are any pest controllers about. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Only trapped a handful but for the first time ever I saw a road kill one today, now that is a rare sight! Long way from Yorkshire though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long way from Yorkshire though! Never seen a dead Mink on the road in my life. About 3 months ago I seen 2 within a mile of each other on the same day, I expect ill never see it again.

Scully Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Your local branch of 'The Rivers Trust' should be able to help with supplies of Mink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant get hold of Ben till tomorrow & when I do I will find out why he wont touch em & what the virus is that they are surpposed to carry Pole Star ps when I lived in Oxfordshire we often saw them on the road & keepers working near the Thames or streams that ran into it aways use to get em.
